Chapter 132 Spiritual Energy Storm 13
Could mental energy really be a conduit that allows these fragments of civilization to return to where they were meant to be?
But why isn't the divine consciousness the same? Aren't they things of the same origin?
Jiang Yansheng was still looking at her. Lin Xia came back to her senses and said, "I saw the destruction of a world."
Jiang Yansheng looked at her and said quietly, "I see the destruction of our world."
Lin Xia was taken aback, understanding Jiang Yansheng's dejected state these past few days, but... why did he see those things? Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly? A butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi?
"Who are you?" Jiang Yansheng suddenly asked.
Lin Xia looked at Jiang Yansheng, unsure how to answer. This was the first time she had seen an 'awakened' native in the game world, which made her not want to lie to him, but she also couldn't tell the truth because the system wouldn't allow it.
Seeing that Lin Xia didn't speak, Jiang Yansheng didn't press the matter. He stood up and said, "Let's go. My master wants to see you."
He glanced at Lin Xia: "Don't worry, I owe you more than one life. I guarantee with my spiritual root that I won't harm you."
Lin Xia thought for a moment and then decided to go with him. He must have seen it to know about the 'Time Amber' and his master. He was too strong to resist. If that person wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as turning his hand.
“My master is the strongest person in this world. People call her ‘Pure Spirit Venerable.’ She is a very kind person and treats me like a father and mother. She must have come here because the outside world is not far from destruction,” Jiang Yansheng suddenly introduced.
Lin Xia glanced at him. She wondered what this guy had seen in the 'Time Amber'. He was acting all mysterious, as if he knew nothing about her.
It was unusually quiet here. Ever since the arrival of the 'Pure Spirit Venerable,' everything and everyone had fallen silent.
The two arrived smoothly before Venerable Jingling. She stood atop the mountain, her back to them, gazing at the sky, her robes fluttering, seemingly drifting between reality and illusion.
"Disciple greets Master."
Venerable Jingling turned around, glanced at Jiang Yansheng, and then fixed his gaze on Lin Xia. His gaze seemed to be filled with satisfaction and understanding. As he looked at her, he suddenly burst into laughter, and a tear seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Disciple, take the people to the underground space first." Seeing that Jiang Yansheng did not move and looked at her persistently, she smiled kindly: "Alright, you know your master's abilities. Go ahead, and come back to find your master later."
Jiang Yansheng glanced at Lin Xia, but before he could speak, Venerable Jingling said, "Young friend, please stay for a moment. Don't worry, Master won't do anything."
Jiang Yansheng nodded, glanced at Lin Xia, and left.
At this moment, Venerable Jingling seemed harmless, without any sense of oppression. As she watched Jiang Yansheng walk away, her eyes seemed to hold the changing stars, encompassing and seeing through everything. She transmitted her voice: "Yansheng is the one destined for greatness in this world."
Lin Xia suddenly realized that the person he was talking about was himself; no wonder he was so curious...
It seems that the lucky item I used was effective, as it directly led me to the chosen one of this world.
Venerable Jingling smiled and said, "You two are very destined." With that, he flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual light merged into Lin Xia's spiritual power.
Lin Xia's expression changed, and she heard Venerable Jingling's reassuring voice: "Don't worry, it's just a small thing, it's not very useful, but if you meet Yansheng again, you will know that it is him, please treat him well."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xia asked, puzzled.
“You’ll find out later.” After saying that, Venerable Jingling laughed first, “No wonder everyone likes to say that.” She glanced at Lin Xia.
He then muttered under his breath, "To be honest, he doesn't have any air of superiority at all; he's obviously just plain stupid."
"Look." With a wave of his hand, Venerable Jingling revealed the figures of Jiang Yansheng and his group, followed by mortals.
But many cultivators went mad there, wanting to go in. Their long-standing sense of superiority made it impossible for them to accept the fact that mortals could go in but they couldn't, nor could they accept the fact that they would die and perish.
Some elders gritted their teeth and crippled their own descendants so that they could go inside to avoid disaster, but if an elder's cultivation technique was crippled, they would almost certainly die immediately.
“There is a hidden space there. You might be able to survive by hiding inside, but only mortals, or rather, people without a trace of spiritual power, can go in. You should go too.”
Lin Xia saw that space. Jiang Yansheng had been there before. It seems that the treasure he possessed was quite unique, allowing him to enter that place.
"There aren't that many demonic beasts there. Is it safe for mortals to go in?"
"Intelligent beings are forbidden from fighting each other inside. What happens in the future is not something we should concern ourselves with now," Venerable Jingling said, looking out.
Lin Xia turned her head and looked over there. The barrier there was flickering faintly and was very unstable.
From the outside, all that could be seen was desolation, devoid of any life.
"Senior..." Lin Xia felt that she knew something and was about to ask something when she was silenced by Venerable Jingling.
She put her index finger to her lips and shook her head: "I can't say, don't ask, if I do, we'll both be in big trouble."
"Alright, go ahead and go hide inside." With that, he flicked his sleeve, and Lin Xia was involuntarily thrown into the air, passing straight through the spatial barrier and being tossed into the space.
Lin Xia then realized that from the inside out, this space seemed to have no obstruction; apart from being able to feel a barrier, everything was perfectly clear.
The line between humans and demons was clear. Everyone looked outside, some weeping in sorrow, some laughing with relief, and the cultivators who had lost their cultivation and become ordinary people were filled with unease.
The monsters stared solemnly outside, seemingly unaware of what was happening. But the sorrowful emotions of all living things in this apocalyptic world could infect all life, and they remained completely silent, regardless of what they were thinking at this moment.
Lin Xia found it quite novel; this was the first time she had directly entered a 'safe zone,' and she had even been escorted in by someone.
She also looked up outside. There were only some great cultivators left outside. They had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, experienced countless hardships, and were still able to stay here. They had long since developed a heart as strong as an iron wall.
In just a few days, they witnessed the death of countless lives and were about to witness the demise of civilization; they had long been prepared for death.
Having made arrangements for his descendants and disciples, he had no more worries and stood there quietly waiting for Venerable Jingling's instructions.
"Ah Sheng, do you blame your teacher?"
"I have no regrets about being able to die alongside my master."
Venerable Jingling looked at Jiang Yansheng and said, "Enjoy the glory, bear the responsibility, and receive the reward."
"Your disciple will remember this."
"Everyone, we are all in the same boat, let's work together." A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Venerable Jingling's face. She stretched out her hand to everyone: "How can we say we have no clothes? We share the same robes."
"Though there be thousands, I will go!" Several great cultivators shouted this, looked at each other and burst into laughter. This was their passionate past.
Immediately, everyone laughed. They too had once been young and passionate, they too had fought side by side against enemies, and they too had faced life and death together.
With a smile, all grudges and hatred vanished.
